Coaching Staff Thoughts

[Jackwagon]

I'm going to throw out Josh Davis into the mix. Strong ties to the Jacks. What he has done at NW is pretty impressive. Plus, I think he is guys who we can hold onto for while.

With Eck leaving there are some questions on how Stig replaces both the OC & OL position.

Hire within for OC to keep some continuity.
Schleusner to OC? Lujan to OC?

Ryan Olson to OL? Schleusner back to TE?

Will Eck try to take any coaches with him? Not sure what pay salary Idaho assistants make. Looking at roster their is a lot of Ca & Northwest US. Lujan playing JUCO in Ca & being from Alaska may seem like someone from current staff that could be looked at. Eck has been at many places so his coach contacts has to be large.

I kinda doubt anyone will follow Eck. He has so many other connections outside the program I guarantee he had a list long before he accepted the job.

Not happening. Would be a huge pay cut for Riggs

Did you also predict he'd be raking in the cash podcasting and analyzing games for Midco and SDPB?

Being the OC when Jacks win their first national championship would be quite a springboard to more lucrative opportunities.

I wondered if Lujan might be a target/have interest in potential Vandals gig.

Riggs was mentioned as a possible DeBoer hire with Huskies, but I wonder if he'd be interested in OC gig if Jacks expand search and want to "make a splash"

Good lord, Riggs would be a fantastic hire if he has any interest.

2nd that. Maybe convince he needs a new challenge. I would go for that.

Is it common in FCS that coordinators also still coach a position group ?

I've posted about this before, and position groups are relatively common (Eck's OC/OL combo was an anomaly). For instance, NDSU has Roehl as OC & TEs/FBs; MSU has Housewright and Banks as OC/QB & DC/DBs, respectively; and JMU has Hetherman as DC/DL with Shanahan as OC/WRs
